DESCRIPTION

When testing applications, often you find yourself needing to provide
functionality in your test environment that would usually be provided
by external modules. Rather than munging the %INC
by hand to mark
these external modules as loaded, so they are not attempted to be loaded
by perl, this module offers you a very simple way to mark modules as
loaded and/or unloaded.

FUNCTIONS

$bool = mark_as_loaded( PACKAGE );

Marks the package as loaded to perl. PACKAGE
can be a bareword or
string.

If the module is already loaded, mark_as_loaded
will carp about
this and tell you from where the PACKAGE
has been loaded already.

$bool = mark_as_unloaded( PACKAGE );

Marks the package as unloaded to perl, which is the exact opposite
of mark_as_loaded
. PACKAGE
can be a bareword or string.

If the module is already unloaded, mark_as_unloaded
will carp about
this and tell you the PACKAGE
has been unloaded already.

$loc = is_loaded( PACKAGE );

is_loaded
tells you if PACKAGE
has been marked as loaded yet.
PACKAGE
can be a bareword or string.

It returns falls if PACKAGE
has not been loaded yet and the location
from where it is said to be loaded on success.
